I beg to differ Sir. You are a highly regarded carpenter as HE was. Without you we would all be out in the weather. Very high on the Maslows hierarchy of needs. Besides that carpentry is fun.
I'll add more photos to explain
The "K" is slid against the door atop a deadbolt. A halligan tool (specialized firemans prybar) is inserted into a slot on the KTool . Then with a sledge hammer the K is wedged into the deadbolt where...
I posted a few more pictures. Not sure why they are not grouped on the same page or window or thread.

Good job Izenglish! It is a mystery solved!
Wire stripper?
More info on the "cattle" tool. Considering again UncleRons information. The handle doesn't slide in and out pump fashion, but rather it turns,but only one revolution to engage the needle with the ti...
The middle two are garden sprayers. The one above the spigots is a bilge pump.
The hole is small, thats what makes me think that the check valve UncleRon speaks of is the nozzle spray pattern diverter.
